Despite the unknowns, however, there are some technologies and trends that will be shaping the supply chain as we move through the next decade. Here are 10 examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A diverse, differently-skilled workforce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you look at the workforce now compared to what it was 10 years ago, there\u2019s been a significant change. What\u2019s hard for people to understand is what the new jobs are going to be 10 years from now,\u201d said George Prest, CEO of MHI. \u201cBut I do know the skill sets that are going to be needed. Critical thinking will be a strong point, and people are going to have to be more adaptable and intellectually curious, because jobs are going to change at a much faster pace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The education system will have to change to provide the type of workers that supply chain companies need, he said. \u201cBut it will also be incumbent upon the corporate world to be nimble. If you want to retain people, it\u2019s going to be necessary to continually provide them with opportunities to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workplace of 2030 will be more digital and innovative to ensure that a five-generation workforce will be able to work together effectively, said Thomas Boykin, supply chain and network operations, Deloitte Consulting. Younger generations expect technology and innovation to be as advanced in their workplace as it is in their homes. Older workers may require technology with intuitive interfaces so they can be productive and effective. Robotics will work side-by-side with these workers to help them do more significant work by eliminating repetitive and physically challenging tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhisolutions-digital.com\/mhiq\/0020_anniversary_edition\/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=1620086#articleId1620086\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Significant changes with technologies and trends will transform the supply chain as we know it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":3068,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,15,10,13],"tags":[69,129,1626,1622,37,433,1422,281,609,442,1902,1625,1623,1620,1627,408,1619,1621,1624],"class_list":["post-3067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-global-trends","category-industry-trends","category-technology","tag-blockchain","tag-deloitte","tag-differently-skilled-workforce","tag-end-to-end-visibility","tag-fetch-robotics","tag-george-prest","tag-material-handling-future","tag-melonee-wise","tag-mhi","tag-mhi-solutions","tag-mhi-solutions-magazine","tag-neurotechnology","tag-sensors","tag-smart-distribution","tag-supply-chain-future","tag-thomas-boykin","tag-transformation-agi","tag-unichannel","tag-virtual-reality-training"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
